Rochford’s
Resources for Families
Practical guides for current and prospective families: the school portal, admissions and fees, choosing a school in Malaysia, and Ipoh. Each guide has a PDF version you can view or download.
Parents
The Rochford’s portal (portal.rochfords.edu.my) gives each student the ebooks for their current grade, plus any other grade the school has granted. Students set goals with a due date and time; goals cannot be deleted. Parents can view their child’s books and goals, and teachers can add and edit goals.
